Capital Area Writing Project at NCSU

Sandra O'Berry, co-director of the Capital Area Writing Project at North Carolina State University and co-director of the Johnston Area Writing Partnership in Johnston County, has taught art in the public schools since 1969, mostly at Smithfield Elementary School in Smithfield, North Carolina. She loves teaching third to fifth grade students at her school, but every year looks forward to working with teachers during the summer and helping them realize how much they know about teaching writing. Sandra is a coauthor with Patsy Butler of "Project Outreach Transforms Professional Development," The Voice: A Newsletter of the National Writing Project.
